Look at it! Look at it! LOOK AT IT!

I kinda hate the Sonic mouth, at least Mario. It looks stupid and is unnatural as hell, as it's done to....I don't know, emphasize his mouth facial expression. The mouth works better if it's more stylized in a 2D drawing or if the 3D model is more stylized, but here, you can see they're trying to go for a more "realistic" Mario if you get my drift and the sideways jaw looks really off and jarring in comparison to the rest of the model.

I would low-key love it if Mario artwork went back to being hand-drawn.
Like, I understand having a 3D model that you can just rig and capture from multiple angles is much easier to do, but there's something about hand-drawn artwork that just oozes quality.

I'm finding it hard to get Mario-related images for this. Who wants to extend this to weird-looking anything Nintendo?

because everyone knows sonic is a better character and mario wants to become a better character

Mario doesn't need to act cool to be cool.

Doesn't matter what everyone says, he's always cool to me.

but there's something about hand-drawn artwork that just oozes quality.

I think these renders ooze quality tho.

And I don't have a problem with Mario's mouth at all. I like this pose, too, it makes him lively.

That's a female Wire Frame with a metal box in Melee.

oh i thought it was zero suit samus modded into melee

ZSS's Brawl model and the female Wire Frame do look alike.

And yet the female Wire Frame is based off of Zelda.

I thought it was a Mario Kart 8 character.

I think this thread deserves more bootlegs.

Dem crying Spongebob eyes.

 

[Princess Céline]

Those could work as fridge magnets.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Presumably, to ward off bacteria and evil spirits. Like this shriveled, rotting corpse below.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Oh, gawd, that looks so humiliating.

What happens when you let your game be ported to countless other systems.

You should take a look at DK's various sprites

Intellivision

Atari 2600

DOS

Apple II

Commodore VIC-20

MSX

To name but a few.

Intellivision is a smiling head with legs, and DOS is a demon. With a wristband because it makes him cool.

 

[Dashbot]

to be fair Intellivision is the most accurate, I mean look at those vivid colors.

 

[Princess Céline]

It looks like a brown Mr. Game & Watch with a real face.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Intellivision

This looks like a skull, doesn't it?

 

[Magikrazy]

It looks like a sentient booger
